Reading is my favourite occupation, when I have leisure for it and books to read. 

Anne Brontë

George and Alice are sharing a beloved book with their Grandad. It is wonderful that even in these extraordinary times we can still share precious moments with our nearest and dearest. 

Get Caught Reading

Why have a reading competition?

At Broadford we believe in developing a culture where children are intrinsically motivated to read for pleasure. We believe in encouraging them to read both inside and beyond school. We believe that the most effective way to promote reading is to work in partnership with parents and families.

How does it work?

During the holidays, parents and family look out for chances to 'catch their child reading'. This can be a book or any other reading material: timetables, recipes, instructions. 

As travelling may be a little more difficult than in previous years, we would like to see you reading with family members and friends as you reunite. 

What is done with the images?

The images can then be shared via our social media platforms to celebrate the reading being done and promote the competition to other families. Look out for photos from staff, who also take part in the promotion!
